A drug dealer from Ireland lost six thousand bitcoins after a cleaner threw away access codes from his #bitcoin wallets. This is reported by Unilad. Clifton Collins from Dublin amassed his fortune by growing and selling cannabis. In euro terms, his bitcoin savings are estimated at 53.6 million #EUR. The drug dealer was afraid that his money could be stolen, so he distributed the amount to 12 bitcoin wallets, wrote access codes to them on small pieces of paper and hid them in a plug on the rod of the fishing rod. However, the cleaner working in the Irishman's house did not know about his hiding place and threw out the old fishing rod along with other junk. Thus, access to money was lost forever. Collins is currently serving a five-year prison sentence for drug trafficking, so he couldn't use the money anyway. Bitcoin wallets were confiscated by the Irish Bureau of Criminal Assets, but experts cannot access the funds in any way. Although Collins' house was broken into by unknown persons after his arrest, and some of his accomplices knew about these accounts, #police believe that the fishing rod was indeed thrown out by mistake. There has been no activity on the Irishman's bitcoin wallets for several years, and workers at the landfill where the drug dealer's belongings were thrown claim to have seen a fishing rod. Waste from the landfill is sent abroad for incineration. Probably, the papers with access codes have already been destroyed. Collins himself admitted that the fortune was lost forever and considers what happened to be "punishment for his own stupidity." #CryptoCurrency #password #key #BTC
